Chapter 821 (1/2)

Tan Tuo and anzico went to the place where they planted potato. Looking at the potatoes dug out by one seedling, Tan Tuo was a little excited and said to an old farmer with a hoe: ”old man, give me a hoe, OK?” Tan Tuo dressed simply, followed by two entourages, like a scholar, could not see that this was a senior official at all. In the same way, anziko was dressed very simply.

The old farmer lent Tan Tuo his hoe.

Tan Tuo is a weak scholar. He is really good at farming. As soon as you dig, you dig out a complete potato. Looking at the seven or eight small taros above, Tan Tuo squats down to pick them up, picks up the mud on them, and puts one into the basket.

Compared with Tan Tuo, anzico is a stranger to doing this. He digs with a hoe and damages several of them.

Anziko put down his hoe and said with a smile, ”Mr. Tan, have you ever done farm work before?” Looking at this, I have not only done farm work, but also been an old hand in it.

Tan Tuo nodded and said: ”I was born in a rural family, and I have been planning food in the field since I was a child. I can't live in the field without me. ” For his birth, Tan Tuo felt nothing to be ashamed of.

Anziko laughed and praised two sentences.

After half an hour, an acre of potato was dug up. Tan Tuo asked people to weigh the harvest of this acre of land, so they knew it well. When he heard that the acre had been collected by 1780 Jin, Tan Tuo said three good words in succession. Even if this thing can't be planted continuously, it can only be planted once in two or three years, which is very good.

Anziko is also overjoyed. These things can fill the stomach, and the high output solves the big problem of people's rations. But I heard that Tan Tuo said that this thing can't be done in succession. It's a pity: ”if it can be done in succession, that's good.”

Tan Tuo said with a smile, ”the output of a season is equivalent to the output of three seasons of wheat. It's already good. ”

They stayed in the country until it was nearly dark, and then they went back to pick city. If it weren't for too many things, tanto would like to live in the country for another day.

The next day, Tan Tuo went to see Yuxi, and the smile on his face did not break when he talked about the potato: ”princess, this potato should be vigorously promoted now.”

Yuxi shook his head and said, ”I'm going to plant 100000 Mu next season. No more.” Seeing Tan Tuo's puzzled appearance, Yuxi didn't explain too much, but talked about reclaiming wasteland: ”how many lands have been reclaimed in the northwest in the past two years?”

Tan Tuo said, ”ninety-nine thousand six hundred mu.”

Yuxi said in silence, ”it's a pity that we are short of water. Otherwise, we can double our opening.” Tan Tuo and Yun Qing said that the army could not continue to reclaim land, not that there were many fields reclaimed by the army, but that there was not enough water resources. No matter how many fields are reclaimed, but if there is no water to irrigate, it is also idle work.

The dam and canal are under construction, but the water conservancy project is slow. Only three dams have been built until now, and the Third Dam will not be completed until May. According to the plan, six more dams need to be built, which will take another two years. There will be a gold mine there, or Yuxi can't bear it!

Tan Tuo thought for a moment, and talked about the scientific examination with Yuxi: ”princess, is this year's children's examination still in June?”

Yuxi shook his head and said, ”this year, next year will be at the beginning of March!” It's the best time to take the exam in March.

The imperial court children's examination was held in the middle of February. It's nothing to delay the examination in the Northwest for more than half a month. Tan Tuo nodded at once: ”it's OK.”

Time flies when there is something to do. No, it's lunch time in a blink of an eye.

Huo Changqing has to go out today. This meeting is not in the mansion. Jujube dates do not want to eat lunch alone, so they go back to the backyard to eat with Yuxi and liuer.

Yuxi looked at the jujube, and couldn't help but say, ”jujube, don't eat so fast, no one will rob you.” This is the drawback of having a daughter follow a big man. If we go on like this, we will be no different from a man.

Jujube said: ”Niang, I don't want to be like my sister! A meal takes two or three quarters of an hour. ” For jujube, Liu er's behavior is a waste of time.

Hearing the words ”sister”, Liu Er immediately looked up at the jujube, showing a sweet smile. That stupid look made Yuxi want to help her forehead again.

Even Yuxi thinks it's incredible. Liu'er likes jujube very much. The two sisters can't finish talking when they stay together. You should know that liu'er will not take the initiative to open her mouth if she doesn't guide her. Also, Liu Er, who is lazy and unwilling to move, often plays with jujube in the yard. Yuxi once whispered to all mammy about it. All Mammy to feel very normal, the first sister, and since childhood together, the feelings of nature deep.

After lunch, Yuxi takes two small people to walk around the house. Jujube, holding liu'er's hand in his right hand, pointed to the jujube tree in the yard with his left hand and said, ”sister, you can eat the jujube on the tree in another three months. Then my sister will pick up dates for you to eat. ”

Liu Er cracked her mouth and said with a smile, ”OK.”
